Rock Fort Temple

The spectacular Rock Fort Temple, the landmark of the city, is on the shores of the Kaveri.

It is perched on a massive rocky outcrop at an altitude of 83 m above sea level. The Thayumanaswamy Temple, dedicated to Lord Shiva (the destroyer in the Hindu trinity), is situated halfway to the top. It has a 100-pillar hall and a Vimana covered with gold. On the southern face of the rock are several beautifully carved rock-cut cave temples of the Pallava period.

Tamilnadu tourism had always been remarkable in all its characteristic features for the avid travellers, which is not wrong to say that this enthralling state is being fascinated with its grand temples, mesmerizing beaches, exotic wildlife and panoramic hill stations.
